#1,300 Wherever.

The fantastic thing about my work is that as long as I can lug my iMac along, I can work anywhere I go. I can go to Baldwyn for a couple of days and as long as I can find wi-fi, I can keep working without my clients missing a beat. Since Ben’s parents’ house is being fixed up at the moment and they haven’t gotten internet set up yet, I’m super thankful I could find wireless internet in the office at their old church. Cheers to technology, y’all. And thank you to the sweet secretary who gave me her office for the day!

I’m Erin Napier, co-owner of Laurel Mercantile Co. and Scotsman Co. with my husband, Ben. I’m an artist and he’s a craftsman and we help people moving to our town find and restore old houses on HGTV’s Home Town. In an effort to count my blessings, this journal has documented only the good things that happen on each and every day of my life since January 1, 2010. I am a wife, a daughter, a homebody, a bubble bath lover, a book reader, a sentimental, stressed out, slightly obsessive southerner. Welcome!
